SPI Mode 0 Timing

MediumLogic CircuitBuild

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) buses drive communication between microcontrollers and peripherals like sensors or flash memory. Mode 0 is the most prevalent timing scheme: the clock idles low, data is sampled on the leading rising edge, and data transitions on the trailing falling edge.

Construct the core timing elements for an SPI Mode 0 transceiver. The received data bit rx_data must capture the state of miso precisely on the rising edge of sck. The transmit line mosi must update to the value of tx_data precisely on the falling edge of sck.

| Event | rx_data | mosi | |-------|-----------|--------| | sck Rising Edge | miso | No change | | sck Falling Edge | No change | tx_data |

Constraints

  • Use edge-triggered flip-flops for both capture and update operations.
  • The rx_data output must only change state exactly on the rising edge of sck.
  • The mosi output must only change state exactly on the falling edge of sck.
